MOVIE OF THE MO, Robbin Coons, Hellywood cor- respondent for the AP Feature Service and The Empin an expert on filmdom's From his studies of the August previews, he herewith presents the “Movie Of The Month"— with reasons: affairs.

As everyone knows by now, it treats of the case of the slum hoodlum and demenstrates, through slam-bang melcdrama, what he is likely to become unless society takes steps The “message” is given punch by the great setting devised by art director, Richard Day after Nor- man Bel Geddes' original stage set, by sundry sub-plots dramatic and melodramatic, and by Willlam Wy- ler’'s direction. | Wyler, rapidly becoming an au- thority on translating stage hits for the screen—with “These Three” “Dodsworth” and now “Dead End” on his list—uses the camera to blend the component parts of his story into smoothly flowing screen narrative. He does this so effec- tively that the single setting, usu- ally a handicap, becomes an asse One quarrel with the film is that the character played by Joel Mc- Crea (in the stege play a crippled product of environment) is here stalwart and romantic. This con- cession to boy-meets-girl demands may help the box-office, but not the picture’s power. Another an- noyance, although admittedly mi- nor, was the McCrea-Sylvia Sidney assumption of the duties of Greek chorus, chanting in dialogue the horrors and injustices about them. But I can skip that, and hail a decidedly worthwhile production The actual stars are the gang boys —Billy Halop, Huntz Hall, Bobby Jordan, Leo B. Gorcey. Bogart over- acts, but effectively, as the killer, and Allen Jenkins as his aide is far above his usual comedy character- ization. Wendy Barrie is good the wealthy man’s mistress in love with McCrea, and Claire Trevor, usually a romantic leading lady, steps down into her best perform- ance in her one-role sequence the prostitute. Gregg Toland’s photography is, as usual, first-rate. 3 Check-Up | st month’s Best tella Dal- with Barbara Stanwyck, Anne 2. A BIG SHOT comes back to parade his glory nds.

The forms of| liberty change from age to age, and |frequently what seem to be individ- ual rights must give way in the in-!} iterest of collective rights and free- dom of the people as a whole.; Whatever enlarges the freedom of the people as a whole is right, and whatever curtails it is wrong. | He then dealt with the tendency today to place a too great reliance on the government to secure to us happiness, and what is commonly |understood as “the more abundant | The mistake we make is in | | |life.” lour conception of the more abund- ant life in terms of money and| things that money can buy.
